#Who are the top badminton players

[shycoconutt]

high school sweetheart bokuto! who has only ever had crushes on celebrities before he met you. the day you got assigned to be partners for the semester in gym class (which he took even though he was exempt due to volleyball) was the day he went home and tore his bikini-clad posters off the wall and threw away his magazine stash under his bed. he doesn’t need to live in a boyish fantasy anymore, because you are real.

high school sweetheart bokuto! who loves to show off his athleticism. whether it’s tennis, frisbee golf, badminton, swimming, or baseball, he always comes out on top and drags you right there with him. you aren’t the most coordinated of the bunch, but you are competitive and he loves it. seeing you get fired up over a successful play mostly led by him had him reeling. on the train ride home, he finds himself replaying your small “woo”s and “yes bokuto!”s in his head with a stupid grin on his face.

high school sweetheart bokuto! who carries you to the nurse's office bridal-style after you fall and twist your ankle while running laps, cursing himself for not keeping a closer eye on you. while waiting for the nurse to come back with an ice pack, he notices the scrapes on your knees and takes it upon himself to take a warm, wet washcloth to clean off any dirt and debris that settles in the wounds. as you begin to sniffle as he kneels before you, he lifts your chin with a delicate finger, tilting his head in questioning. “i was on track to set a new personal record,” you manage to squeak out with a shy smile. after a pause in disbelief, bokuto’s howling laughter rings throughout the school halls.

high school sweetheart bokuto! who, for the week you are sitting out due to your injury, makes it his mission to make you laugh every single day. during dodgeball, he purposely lets himself get nailed in the face. during tennis, which he plays solo as he refuses to play with anyone else, he gives the loudest, most obnoxious grunts he can muster. during baseball, he hits an impressive triple but runs the bases in the opposite direction. every time he looks over to catch the way your shoulders shake and your eyes crinkle, he feels like a man without water finding a river in the desert.

high school sweetheart bokuto! who is absolutely awestruck to find you up in the stands at his latest volleyball match. going up to serve, right as he is about to start his routine, he hears your beautiful voice as you call out, “bokuto, nice serve!” from above. without skipping a beat, he tosses the ball up in the air, turns his head slightly to give you a wink, and slams the ball to the other side of the court. after hitting a serve that was more like a backcourt spike, he points to you on the sidelines, dedicating his service ace to you. little did he know then that every successful receive, set, spike, and serve from then on out would belong to you.

high school sweetheart bokuto! who finds you after the match and insists on walking you home, draping his jacket over your shoulders to shield you from the cool spring night. without saying anything, you pull out your old mp3 player from your bag and offer him an earbud which he takes eagerly. shoulder to shoulder, you walk the empty streets, bokuto humming along with the music. overtaken by the buzzing atmosphere, your proximity, and an old r&b song he thought he had forgotten about, he snakes his arm around your waist and intertwines his other hand with yours, lifting you off the ground and spinning you around. as you shriek in laughter while gripping onto him for dear life, bokuto vows to dedicate the rest of his days to chasing this feeling of pure joy with you.

a/n: i just had to write something for our sweet bokuto. i think i am going to continue this as a series because it's just soooo cute! this is dedicated to my high school sweetheart who i met in gym class sophomore year. we're celebrating 10 years this weekend! <3

ACOTAR MEN AND THE SPORTS I THINK THEY WOULD PLAY:

note: this is all up for interpretation, so feel free to list your suggestions in the comments !!

rhysand: definitely a big shot baseball player. can imagine him in the traditional pinstriped yankees uniform. real smug bastard on the field, mind-fuck strategist.

cassian: is a beast at heavy weight sports, but this man cannot run to save his life. prefers more stationary sports like boxing and wrestling. competes in weightlifting events for fun.

azriel: only participates in team sports if cassian and rhysand are playing, but i think he would thrive in individual or one-on-one sports. martial arts like bjj (brazilian jiu-jitsu) and judo are his best.

tamlin: this man screams front row prop. say your thoughts and prayers because he will quite literally go beast mode and bulldoze you over. always getting carded and warnings because he can’t reign in his temper.

lucien: now call me biased but lucien is a jack of all trades. he dabbles in all sorts of sports, mostly of which are unconventional, and is really good at them once he puts his mind to it. that being said i would say he plays a mix of track and field, lacrosse and volleyball. occasionally does archery and swimming.

tarquin: any and all water sports and baby tarquin is undefeated. loves waterpolo and competitive swimming.

varian: wind-surfing, for sure. i would also say rowing; amren especially loves his arms.

helion: is definitely a former rugby jock. a literal powerhouse on and off the field. those thunder thighs be THIGHING. also dabbles in shot put because i feel like he would unironically be really good at it.

thesan: he gives me major badminton vibes. i dont know why, but just racket sports in general??????

kallias: any and all winter sports and kallias is there. a pro at ice hockey and speed skating. likes to do duo figure skating with viviane.

beron: is literally one of those middle age, upper middle class white men who spend all their free time at the country club, sipping on top shelf whiskey and abusing the clubs workers. probably plays golf and tennis, croquet too but hes too prideful and thinks its for old people.

10 TOP RANKED THAI BL ON MYDRAMALIST

+my opinion, since I’ve watched all of them for this post

1. I Feel You Linger in the Air (8,9/10)

DESCRIPTION: Jom is an architect responsible for the renovation of a historic house alongside the Ping River. There he discovers a wooden chest packed with old drawings, drawings that look strangely familiar. The contents are intriguing. However, Jom doesn't have time to concern himself with them; he has plans to reunite with his boyfriend. For years, Jom has been counting the days till his boyfriend would return from his far away studies, only to find him engaged to someone else on his return. Heartbroken, Jom comes to a place of acceptance as he mistakenly runs his car into the river. In the cold darkness, Jom catches the sweet scent of fresh frangipani flowers coming from the stream and in the distance, he can make out a deep, gentle voice pronouncing clearly, "Pho Jom."

MY TAKE: Well deserved first place. It’s the best Thai drama I’ve ever seen and I really hope we’ll get more like this one in the future. Everything was on point - the costumes, the acting, the cinematography. The relationship between the main characters felt real and absolutely believe, especially thanks to P’Bright (Khun Yai), who delievered everything well through his eyes. The story made me emotional to the point I cried like a baby at the end, which didn’t happen for a really long time. To be honest, I could rewatch this series without ever getting bored because of how unique and heartwarming it was. If I were to criticise anything, I’d choose the fact that Jom seemed quite bland during the first few episodes and also the way Khun Yai wasn’t cautious at all with their relationship despite living around the 1920s. However, it can be explained by some things from the novel, which I’m considering to write a post about. Aside from the romance plot, IFYLITA discussed the topic of women’s opression and offered a lesbian sub-plot that made the story even better. I recommend everyone to watch it, it’s ridiculous how little recognition the series got from the BL fandom!

2. The Sign (8,6/10)

DESCRIPTION: For as long as Tharn can remember, he's had premonitions about those around him, sensing both the good and the bad. Partners on a team of special investigators, when kind and cheerful Tharn met clever and charming Phaya, it felt as though they'd known each other for a long time.

MY TAKE: Another gem showing that the industry is slowly heading to a new, better direction. The plot contains lots of action scenes, investigations and Thai mythology elements, which I don’t think have been used in any series before, at least not in a well known one. I’m a sucker for reinarnation and soulmates motives, I wish Tharn and Phaya believed in each other more though. It was frustrating to see them fight so much. Some of the comedy scenes made me cringe, too. Still, the story was solid and engaging, especially thanks to Tharn and Phaya’s relationship complexity. During some scenes CGI was used and I have to admit they must have spent some budget on it. It’s the third Idolfactory’s drama and they definitely get better with every project. More series like The Sign!

3. Last Twilight (8,5/10)

DESCRIPTION: Burdened with heavy debt, Mhok, a technical college student, applies for a high-paying job as a caregiver to Day, a badminton player with partial blindness due to infectious keratitis. Day hires Mhok who—unlike other applicants—seems to take no pity on him. With so much time spent in each others' company, the two develop a deep bond. When Day learns he'll have approximately 90 days until he loses what vision he has remaining, how will the two weather the trials ahead?

MY TAKE: I’m gonna be honest, I fell in love with Last Twilight very quickly. The acting was top-notch - I think P’Sea portrayed a blind character really well despite having vision and P’Jimmy… P’Jimmy was just on another level of greatness. Just like P’Bright, his eyes told everything. Every emotion could be seen clearly and he efortlessly made Mhok the viewer’s favourite. Mhok itself was a mature, selfless person, but with Jimmy’s portrayal I think it’s even harder not to love him, not be enchanted by him. I found the story heartwarming and moving, beautifully culminating in the last scene of the 9th episode. At that moment I’ve felt that both Day and Mhok’s journey found some sort of an ending, maybe terribly sad, but also with some sweetness in it. Throughout the whole series it was Mhok teaching Day how to live again after losing his sight and encouraging him to stand on his own legs again. In the 9th episode though it seemed like the dynamic shifted somehow, showing that Day reached some maturity that Mhok haven’t had yet, and that he could help him with his grief too. The whole message of Last Twilight was delivered fully then. However, what happened later completely ruined it. I understand that P’Aof wanted LT to be realistic and because of that he decided to face the fact that Mhok can’t be Day’s caretaker forever. But all of this was handled poorly, seemed rushed especially after 11 episode and I couldn’t bear to watch one of my favourite series trashing itself. After that it was also imposible to ignore the issues I had with Mhok and Day’s relationship anymore, especially the August plot. I hated how although Day showed huge interest in Mhok on the beginning, he suddenly revealed his crush on other boy and he seemed really bothered by Mhok’s confession, too. What a mess. Porjai and Night’s subplot was great though, I liked both the characters and their relationship. I recommend everyone to just watch episodes 1-9 despite some disappointments on the way.

4. Not Me (8,5/10)

DESCRIPTION: Black and White are twins with a powerful connection. After their parents' separation, though, White’s father took him abroad, and their family effectively severed in two. It isn’t until fifteen years have passed that White—now grown—returns to Thailand. One day, seemingly from nowhere, White feels an agony like death. He recovers in the hospital, but they’re unable to determine the cause. Then he picks up a call from a childhood friend, Tod. Tod tells him that Black is in a coma following a vicious attack, and he learns that Black is in a motorcycle gang. Unable to endure the harm done to his brother in silence, and suspecting it was one of Black’s close friends—Sean, Gram, or Yok—who betrayed him, White disguises himself as Black to root out the traitor. But White doesn’t know his brother as well as he thought; he’s not behaving like the Black Sean knows, distrustful and uncaring about the feelings of others. Sean's suspicious. The difference gets under Sean's skin and makes him feel things he shouldn’t.

MY TAKE: I’ve actually first started watching Not Me around the time it was coming out, but I became bored around the half of it, so I’ve seen the rest of the episodes just recently. It’s refreshing to receive a politics and society problems oriented BL, this series without doubt was mature and one of a kind. Not Me took on many issues the modern Thailand still faces, struggling with democracy, human rights and equality. The relationship between White and Sean was another difficult thing here with its complexity, as they faced their opposite ideas for making a change - Sean being more reckless and hotheaded, while White more rational and fragile mentally. They went through many stages and although they were allies, it’d call it an enemies to lovers dynamic. I felt connected to both of them - to White because I agreed with his methods more and to Sean because of his abandonment issues. What they had was not pretty, no, it was raw and even rough at times, however, they managed to build mutual trust and the ending was satisfying. Definitely recommend!

5. A Tale of Thousand Stars (8,5/10)

DESCRIPTION: After a volunteer teacher Torfun dies in a tragic accident, her heart is transplanted into Tian. Tian learns about his donor’s life through a series of diary entries that reveal her secrets and interests. Included is her promise to count a thousand stars with Chief Forest Officer Phupha. Tian decides to follow in Torfun's footsteps and fulfill her promise. Now a new volunteer teacher himself, Tian attempts to befriend Phupha who initially gives him the cold shoulder. As the two grow steadily closer, Tian notices his new heart beats quickly whenever he's near the officer. Much like the heart’s previous owner, Tian cannot help but fall for Phupha. Treading on dangerous ground, can he still go through with the thousand-star promise?

MY TAKE: It’s such a classic that I don’t know if there’s anyone who hasn’t heard of it yet, but let’s proceed! 1000 stars for years took a special place in my heart, as it was one of few good Thai BL during the time it came out. I loved the rural atmosphere of Pha Pun Dao and the process of Tian adapting to life in the village. The story was slow, warm and sort of pure, although the tension and chemistry were there. Big kudos for the scene in which Tian came to the conclusion that his feelings for Phupha mean he likes men, since that wasn’t a standard in the „I don’t like men, I only like you” era. Another thing is, P’Mix (Tian), who was a rookie back then, played his role so well that I would never suspect it’s his first time acting! Recommend for anyone seeking comfort, even if it gets sad by the end.

6. My School President (8,5/10)

DESCRIPTION: Student body president Tinn has a secret crush on Gun, the head of the music club and lead singer of the middling band Chinzhilla. The son of the principal, Tinn is instructed to axe any clubs that don't boost their school's reputation. The music club tops that list and Tinn is therefore Gun's number one enemy. Desperate to save his club, Gun will do anything, even pledge servitude to Tinn. When Tinn learns Chinzhilla has a rule that band members aren't permitted to date until they win the Hot Wave Music Contest, he vows to do whatever it takes to help them do just that.

MY TAKE: At first the fact that the story takes place in a high school setting put me off, as I prefer watching young adult stories, but I gave it a shot because of the good reviews. And after watching it I can say it was definitely worth it. My School President is a silly rom-com that delicately touches some more serious issues. Nevertheless, it was a light watch. N'Gemini and N'Fourth delievered an excellent performance, accurately and realistically portraying the main couple. Maybe it’s because they are just slightly older than the characters, so it was easier for them to understand them. I also still listen to MSP soundtracks. Aside from being simply good pieces of music, they make me feel positive and refreshed everytime I hear them. It’s like an energizer.

7. Bad Buddy (8,4/10)

DESCRIPTION: Ever since they were young, Pran and Pat's families had a deep and raging rivalry, trying to one-up each other on everything. This also extended to their sons. Comparing their sons' achievements and merits,—whether it be academic or extracurricular—the two families leave no stone unturned to outshine and gloat in front of the other. The rivalry was passed down as a family heirloom and the two boys become rivals in turn. Until... they grow tired and become friends. Really good friends. However, because of their families' rivalry, their friendship has to be kept under wraps. And so began a journey of secret friendship... and then perhaps a secret romance?

MY TAKE: This is another series I’ve dropped in half and picked up just recently. Although the entire enemies since birth plot seemed a little bit Wattpad-ish to me, I’ve still enjoyed Bad Buddy a lot. The relationship of Pat and Pran was fun and realistic, they also had good chemistry together, probably due to the actor’s long-lasting frienship. There was something about them that just seemed so natural. Big plus for verse rights and lesbian sub-plot. The only thing I’m not content with was that instead of working things through with their families, the scriptwriters decided to just make Pat and Pran lie and avoid the topic. It could have been handled in a better way.

8. Moonlight Chicken (8,3/10)

DESCRIPTION: Jim is an ordinary guy running a Hainanese chicken rice diner. One night, he meets breezy Wen when he stays past closing drunk. Brought together by fate that night, intangible feelings arise. Neither can stop thinking about the other despite Jim's efforts to remain unattached. Working at the diner are Jim's nephew Li Ming, Saleng, and occasionally chicken supplier Kaipa who doesn't mind having an excuse to see him.

MY TAKE: I’m a Chinese learner and liked P’Earth and P’Mix’s performance in 1000 stars a lot, so I was looking forward for Moonlight Chicken to come out. The relationship between Jim and Wen disappointed me a bit, as it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. They started off from a one night stand and Jim was doing everything he could to keep things this way, with Wen persistently trying to change his mind. I’m still happy though, because the series maturely portrayed real life problems of Thai people. Jim, as an adult, was a person tied by chores and responsibilities of a restaurant owner and legal guardian for his teenager nephew. It’s understandable for him to take more things than just his feelings into consideration, especially since he was older than Wen. The problems between them made the series even more realistic, but N’Gemini (Heart) and N’Fourth (Li Ming) undoubtebly stole this show from the main couple. Not good for people wanting to watch something romantic and fluffy, nevertheless, still good.

9. Triage (8,3/10)

DESCRIPTION: Third-year emergency medicine resident Tin has to cope with a deluge of different patients every day. Up until the eighteenth, that is. Tin's life is transformed when university student Tol's car is overturned, and he's rushed to the emergency room in serious condition. That night doesn't end when Tin fails to save Tol's life, though. When Tin next wakes, he finds himself in a time loop, a loop he won't be able to leave until he's altered Tol's fate.

MY TAKE: Triage was a slowburn and it took quite a few episodes for the main couple to start developing feelings, as the time loops didn’t help in building any kind of closeness. They had good chemistry though and I really liked the performance of every actor in this series. Also! The! Plot! It was truly a masterpiece. It turned out that Triage novel is another work of Manner of Death’s author and that those two are actually connected. Doctor Bun and Tan appear in one episode of Triage and if MoD season 2 actually happens, it will be a continuation of the mystery after Triage’s ending. About the ending itself, it wasn’t satisfying. Also, why do I feel like they got some inspiration from the movie Bruce Almighty?

10. To Sir, With Love (8,3/10)

DESCRIPTION: The Five Dragon Guild is under the leadership of Jao Sua Song. He's skilled and in control in business, but things in the family have become chaotic. By his main wife Li, he has his eldest son Thian. He has a secondary wife Jan with whom he has a son named Yang and he has a mistress named Bua. In a Chinese family, masculinity is prized. Thian is the face of the family, the one who will eventually succeed Song, who will carry the power his father has built. Khun Chai is not a position just anyone is suited to. The love between two men is obstructed by Chinese society.

MY TAKE: Everthing was good here - the acting, the costumes, the setting... a high quality series indeed. I especially loved brotherly bond between Tian and Yang, as it was the purest and the most wholesome thing in this drama. The murder plot was interesting too. However, all of this was simply too prolonged. Because everyone for 17 1-hour episodes straight was running around and trying to find that Tian’s homosexual, they may as well just name the series Tian’s secret. I got sick of it around 9th episode and there were still 8 more. It’s a pity that it completely ruined To Sir, With Love for me. Tian and Jiu, the main couple, didn’t receive many screentime, so it was quite unsatisfying too.

[jarpadswalker]

To the anon, you resorted to foul language just to question my choice and ask if I have seen any actor as multi talented as Jensen. Let me tell you this I am not going to post your ask as I don't want you to give you the satisfaction of sending a hate ask. I don't know why you think doing so was great in the first place.

As far as multi talented actors are concerned, well Darling, I come from India. No slight for any countries actor or actresses, I am sure each country got their gems. since Anon asked me if I know any, I would like to say I know plenty.

In Indian film industry, acting ain't enough you need to know how to dance and singing is added bonus. Each actor knows at least 4 languages, including English. Then there are those who got added talent such as painting, cooking, musicians, badminton player. So they are not only good-looking but they are awesome actors, dancers, singers and multi linguistics. Sorry to say Jensen is nowhere near to them. Jensen doesn't have people traveling from all over the world to wish him a happy birthday at home. He is not quick-witted or charming, nor can he dance and could barely sing.

Here are some of the Indian actors for you. I am sharing two of my absolute favorites

Shah Rukh Khan - aka King Khan

This guy's duality is dangerous - There is not a single character that he hasn't played. One of the few, if not only actors whose film trailers are played on Bhuj Khalifa. Most importantly, despite being world famous, he is extremely humble. No matter how busy/ tired he is, he will make sure that he takes time out for his fans. There are fans who stand outside film studios and his house hoping to have one glimpse at him, but he, if present at home or Studio, will make sure to greet his fans without fail.

This is outside his house-

Hrithik Roshan - aka Greek God of Dance

Great actor, can dance (under statement), sing, cook, and do stunts. Another humble actor who doesn't think twice before sharing his craft. His debut film created a mania across the country. He was the only qctor who bagged all the top awards in his debut film and immediately got catapulted to A-list. He loves his fans and encourages them to follow their dream. He has funded my young talents to pursue their interest. During Covid, he donated millions of dollars to help Daily- Wage artists. He distributed masks and emergency kits to front runners. And raised 3.19 million of Covid 19 relief fund.

There are many more actors tumblr doesn't have enough space for it. I just shared two of my absolute favorites. As you can see, I gravitate towards those who are extremely humble, respectful, and giving despite being famous. I hope Anon, you understood why I don't think Jensen is a super talented actor.

Personal Log V

Oh-great-heavens, I haven't been quite myself ever since I fell sorely ill a month or so ago. Most of my real world friendships have been spliced due to my negligence towards others, but I have grown, undoubtedly, more withdrawn and fearful of public spaces. Never mind that people themsleves frighten me with their presence alone, but the gathering of individuals in any area greatly inflicts me with frustration and fatigue.

As per usual, I am pitifully, pathetically fragile under the burden of disease and personal insecurities. A touch of cough is enough to send oneself into nightful fits of wheezing. Mayhaps, I think, the reaper has finally perched on my chest, like vulture circling about carrion. Well, nonsense-girl, that's implying you even "lived" to begin with. I have been feeling more "strange" lately - the definition of which I cannot provide in a manner that is sensible or curable. But yes, I've felt more strange as of late. Less nervous (lest placed in a crowd of people), but more detached to my own matters. Boring me is a sin and the students around me are sinners. I could be happier if I chose to be more open-minded to the notion of befriending strangers in my classes, but as I reflected upon it more and more, I lamented, hated and ultimately resented the notion altogether. Strangers are nicer than I predict in my head and that makes me irrational, an expression accomplished by self-loathing more than anything else.

Altering my manner of speech to fit the altered state of mind. Feeling alienated by people as a whole, I feel like a "character" from a story, more than the writer itself. It's not so much different from a fictional little man shouting about cosmic apathy at the top of his lungs but what comes out is a scrawled script of barely poetic prose. I wish I was "real" the same way most other people feel that they are Real. Oh, but not really. Hard to tell what I really want when the brain is two badminton players who keep passing the shuttlecock around in the air. Toss it, turn it, and in the end, my shelter remains to be drawing and burying my head in comics. To be Real like others is to sacrifice "myself", and I am not that selfless to perform such a thing. It bothers me how much more competent I could be if I actually tried. A more competent artist, a more competent friend...Life is short and I'm burning it faster so I don't have to deal with this anymore.

Deepika Padukone

Born: January 5, 1986

Deepika Padukone is one of the most well-known and well-liked Indian actresses, having appeared in a number of films. As a child, Deepika Padukone aspired to follow in her father Prakash Padukone's footsteps and become a world-class badminton player. Modeling supplanted her aspirations of pursuing an athletic career. After starring in a Kingfisher calendar and a few advertisements, Deepika Padukone, India's reigning supermodel, decided to branch out into acting. 'Aishwariya' was her first Kannada film, but her first Hindi film, 'Om Shanti Om,' launched her to fame. Movies like "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani," "Goliyon Ki Raasleela," "Piku," and "Bajirao Mastani" have helped her rise to the top of the Hindi film industry throughout the years. With 'xXx: The Return of Xander Cage,' she has made her first foray into the world of Hollywood action films. Actresses earning more than $1 million a year are few and far between.

Early Life

An international badminton player named Prakash Padukone and his wife Ujjala were the proud parents of the actress Deepika Padukone. Her father used to be a well-known badminton player back in his younger days. The youngest of the two sisters, Anisha, is a professional golfer who participates in tournaments around the United States. As a year-old child, Deepika's family migrated to the city of Bangalore in India. Mount Carmel College and Sophia High School were Deepika's two preparatory institutions of choice. For the sake of her modeling profession, she dropped out of IGNOU's Bachelor of Sociology program.

Education

She completed her secondary school at Bangalore's Sophia High School before transferring to Mount Carmel College for her pre-university studies. In order to avoid schedule issues with her modeling profession, she eventually enrolled at the Indira Gandhi National Open University to pursue a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology, but she left out before finishing the program.

Career

Deepika Padukone's career has been very straightforward, in contrast to many models who struggle to get into the industry. In 2005, she made her runway debut at Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai, marking the beginning of her fashion career. Next to that, she was included in the Kingfisher Calendar for the following year. Her meteoric ascent to fame started with her appearance in the music video for Himesh Reshammiya's song "Naam Hai Tera," which was released in 2008. Since then, she has been in a number of other music videos. The video was released in 2008 and featured her singing. Soon after, she started to get offers for film roles in other productions. Instead of jumping into anything headfirst, she enrolled in an acting school at the Anupam Kher Film Academy in order to better prepare herself for the role of the director.Read more on..

Here’s a look at some of the top benefits backed by studies and testimonials: 1. Physical Fitness and Coordination Improved Cardiovascular Health: A study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that racquet sports reduce the risk of heart disease and improve cardiovascular health. Young players often see increases in endurance, agility, and lung capacity. Better Motor Skills and Coordination: Playing badminton involves quick footwork, hand-eye coordination, and strategic thinking, all of which boost motor skills. The constant movement improves balance and reflexes.

Testimonial: "Badminton has made me feel so much fitter. I used to struggle with stamina, but now I can keep up with my friends in other sports too!" — Alex, 16 2.

The strategic aspect of badminton challenges the brain and enhances problem-solving skills, which can benefit school performance. Reduces Stress and Anxiety: Exercise, in general, releases endorphins, but social sports like badminton add an extra layer of stress relief. Research suggests that racquet sports help reduce stress and anxiety because of the focus and engagement they require. Testimonial: "After a long day at school, badminton helps me de-stress. I feel so much better and clear-headed after a session with friends." — Priya, 17 3.

It’s taught me discipline, and my grades have improved too!" — Jay, 16 By playing badminton, young people gain far more than just physical fitness—they develop valuable life skills, make friends, and build a foundation for a healthy lifestyle that will benefit them for years to come.

Get Started with Pickleball: Essential Tips for Beginners

Pickleball is an exciting, accessible sport for players of all ages and abilities. Combining elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, it’s easy to pick up and perfect for beginners who want to get active, have fun, and enjoy a bit of friendly competition. If you’re new to pickleball, this guide will give you everything you need to know to start playing confidently.

What You Need to Play

To start playing pickleball, you’ll need a paddle, a pickleball (similar to a wiffle ball), and access to a court. Most beginner paddles are lightweight and easy to handle, and you don’t need to invest in the top-of-the-line equipment right away. Just make sure you choose a paddle that feels comfortable in your hand.

Many parks, recreation centers, and gyms now have pickleball courts, so check out what’s available in your area. Some places even offer open-play times for beginners, where you can practice with players at your level and get tips from more experienced players.

Mastering the Basics

While pickleball is straightforward, there are a few basics to help you start strong. Here are some key aspects to focus on as you learn the game:

Serve Consistently: The serve is an underhand stroke, and it must land in the opposite diagonal court without hitting the non-volley zone (often called “the kitchen”). Consistency is more important than power here. Aim for a smooth, controlled serve, and practice getting it over the net reliably.

Stay Out of the Kitchen: The kitchen is the seven-foot area on both sides of the net where volleys (hitting the ball in the air before it bounces) are not allowed. While you can step into the kitchen to play a ball that has bounced, it’s crucial to stay out of it during volleys to avoid losing a point.

Learn the Dink Shot: The “dink” is a gentle shot that drops just over the net and lands in the opponent’s kitchen. It’s one of the most strategic shots in pickleball, as it keeps the ball low, making it difficult for your opponent to attack. Practicing your dink shots can improve your control and set you up for success in rallies.

Find Your Position on the Court: Pickleball is often played with doubles, so knowing where to stand is essential. Generally, players stay close to the net after the serve, ready to volley or dink as needed. Try to communicate with your partner and avoid both rushing for the same shot.

Getting a Feel for the Game

Pickleball is fast-paced but doesn’t require high levels of strength or endurance, making it great for beginners. Here are some tips to help you adapt to the pace and flow of the game:

Keep Your Eye on the Ball: Unlike tennis, the pickleball moves slower, but it can still change direction quickly. Keeping your eyes on the ball helps you react faster and position yourself for the next shot.

Use a Soft Grip: Many beginners grip their paddles too tightly, which can reduce control. A relaxed grip lets you place the ball more precisely and adapt to different shots without feeling stiff or restricted.

Practice Footwork: Good footwork allows you to reach shots more efficiently. Practice moving side to side rather than front to back, as this will help you stay in position near the net without stepping into the kitchen.

Building Confidence on the Court

Starting any new sport can be a little intimidating, but the pickleball community is generally very welcoming. Most players are more than happy to play with beginners and even offer some tips as you go. If you’re nervous, try joining a beginner's clinic or a local pickleball group. You’ll improve faster and build confidence as you play with others who are also learning.

Remember, everyone starts somewhere, and making mistakes is part of the process. Each game you play teaches you something new, so focus on enjoying the experience rather than playing perfectly. The more you practice, the more comfortable you’ll become with the rules, techniques, and rhythm of the game.

Staying Motivated and Having Fun

Pickleball is as much a social activity as it is a sport. Many players say they enjoy the friendships and laughs on the court just as much as the game itself. Whether you’re playing for fitness or just a good time, staying open to meeting people and joining in on the community aspect can make the experience even better.

To keep motivated, set small goals. These could be as simple as mastering your serve, learning to play a solid dink, or staying out of the kitchen consistently. Celebrate each improvement, no matter how small—it’s all progress!

Wrapping Up and Stepping Forward

Pickleball is easy to learn but full of ways to grow as you get more comfortable with it. Starting out with the basics, focusing on your technique, and gradually challenging yourself are all fantastic steps toward becoming a solid player. And, most importantly, remember that the fun of pickleball is in the enjoyment of the game, the people you meet, and the small wins along the way.

So grab a paddle, hit the court, and see where pickleball takes you. With each game, you’re bound to feel a little more at home on the court and, before long, you'll be helping the next beginner discover the joy of this fun and friendly sport. And with so many pickleball paddles to choose from, you can find the perfect one to match your playing style as you improve.

How PKL went on to become the biggest Kabaddi league?

Pro Kabaddi League or PKL is the biggest and most popular professional Kabaddi tournament hosted in India. Launched in 2014, PKL features top international men kabaddi stars, who go under the hammer every season in the PKL auction. The tournament is the second most watched sports league in India after the very popular Indian Premier League. While the league is broadcast on Star Sports, there are various online platforms that provide kabaddi fanatics with the PKL live score. The idea of PKL came into life after the popularity of the sport at the 2006 edition of the Asian Games.

Ever since the IPL has become popular in the Indian subcontinent, several sports came up with a league-based tournament, and PKL was no different. Like the cash-rich cricket league, PKL also follows a franchise-based model and was first hosted in 2014 with the participation of eight teams. Since kabaddi was less popular than cricket and had fans at grassroot levels in India, there were doubts whether the league would sustain or not. However, Indian fans as well as sports lovers across the globe adopted PKL and soon, the sport got fans in regions where the sport wasn’t much popular earlier.

The best part about PKL has always been the thrill it offers to fans and audience. Since its inception a decade ago, the league hasn’t seen one champion team every season. For example, Patna Pirates has won the tournament three times, consecutively. On the other hand, teams like Jaipur Pink Panthers have been crowned champions twice, while names like U Mumba, Bengaluru Bulls, Bengal Warriors, Dabang Delhi K.C and Puneri Paltan have won one title once.

The 2024 season of the PKL is set to begin on October 18 in Hyderabad. Unlike past editions, PKL Season 11 will have a three-destination format instead of the traditional 12-destination format in 2024. The first leg of the tournament will unfold in Hyderabad before the action moves to Noida Indoor Stadium and then Balewadi Badminton Stadium in Pune. The dates of the play-offs will be announced later along with their venues. Those who cannot travel but don’t wish to miss out on the action can rely on several media platforms for kabaddi live score. Earlier, League Commissioner Anupam Gosawmi expressed his excitement about the upcoming edition of the PKL 2024. He highlighted the potential of the forthcoming edition to elevate Kabaddi’s status further domestically and globally. He said, "After successfully completing 10 seasons, PKL Season 11 will mark a new milestone in the continued rise of the league. This would strengthen the growth of Kabaddi in India and elsewhere around the world."

PKL 2024 auction

In the auction for the next season, several players underwent bidding war in Mumbai, which shattered several records. A total of eight players secured bids of more than INR 1 Crore. Sachin Tanwar who was sold to Tamil Thalaivas, became the most expensive player with a bid of INR 2.15 Crore. Following him was Mohammadreza Shadloui Chiyaneh, who was sold to Haryana Steelers for INR 2.07 Crore. Other than him, Guman Singh (Gujarat Giants), Pawan Sehrawat (Telugu Titans), Bharat (UP Yoddhas), Maninder Singh (Bengal Warriors), Ajinkya Ashok Pawar (Bengaluru Bulls), and Sunil Kumar (U Mumba) secured bids of more than INR 1 Crore.

Challenges and Areas for Improvement

Like any streaming service, Raket TV faces challenges that need addressing. Buffering issues, while minimal, can still occur in regions with poor internet connectivity.

"Garden Mein Ghoomne Wala": Sunil Gavaskar Blasts Lakshya Sen's Olympics 2024 Meltdown

The Paris Olympics 2024 has been a bittersweet experience for the Indian sports fans. After the high of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where India returned with a record seven medals, the expectation was that at the Paris Olympics, the haul would be bigger. However, following a string of narrow misses and some unlucky incidents (like the Vinesh Phogat disqualification), India won six medals. Badminton was one sport where India has fared well in the last three editions.

Starting from the 2012 Olympics, Indian badminton stars have returned with at least one medal. However, this time there were no medals. The star duo of Satwik Sairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty could not enter the semi-finals. Singles player Lakshya Sen became the first Indian male shuttler to enter the Olympic semi-final but lost crucial matches despite being in a strong situation.

Amid such displays, badminton legend Prakash Padukone said that It was time for the badminton stars to bring home good results as there was enough support from the government and other stakeholders.

The comment was criticised by many. Former Indian cricket team captain Sunil Gavaskar, however, has supported Prakash Padukone and critisiced Lakshya Sen's mental block.

"As far back as 2017/18, Prakash, who I unfortunately meet rarely, had told me about this kid, Lakshya Sen. He had taken him under his wing and was his guide and mentor. He would have watched Lakshya's progress step by step. As he came to the cusp of an Olympic medal, Prakash was by the courtside along with the hard-working and indefatigable Vimal Kumar to see the fulfillment of not just Lakshya's dream but also that of the entire community of Indian badminton lovers," Gavaskar wrote in a column for Sportstar.

"To then see a 20-17 and 7-0 lead being squandered off in the semifinal (vs Viktor Axelsen) and then lose the bronze medal match (vs Lee Zee Jia) after winning the first game comfortably must have been gut-wrenching indeed. He, Vimal Kumar, the BAI, and the government's TOPS had done everything possible, but when it came to the crunch, Lakshya was, in the famous words of the Indian cricket team captain (Rohit Sharma), 'garden mein ghoomne wala.'"

Gavsakar felt that Lakshya had lost his "thought and concentration".

"For those who watched both the semifinal and the bronze medal matches, it did appear that Lakshya had lost his trend of thought and concentration in the way he looked at his racquet as he sipped from his water bottle in between points or at the changeovers," Gavaskar wrote.

"I could be completely wrong, but on TV, it looked like a blank expression, and that's usually a sign that the mind has wandered. Concentration and focus are things that no coach or trainer can ever teach. It can be developed over the years by the athlete by observing other champions and having an inner resolve, but there's no specific program for it. Yes, mind trainers are around, but they can only do so much and not more. It's got to be within the athlete."
